Dayton Restaurant Makes 100 Most Loved Restaurants in the US List

June 14, 2022 By Dayton937

DoorDash  unveiled its first annual awards list honoring the top 100 Most Loved All Star Restaurants in the United States for 2022. The restaurant partners on this list are not only good at their craft, they’re also reliable, top-rated by consumers, and exceptional at operations — fewer than 1% of restaurants on DoorDash qualified.  DoorDash’s 2022 Most Loved All Stars list celebrates the local restaurants that go above and beyond for their customers’ online orders, time and time again.

The only Ohio restaurant to make the list is Dayton’s own Amar India. While the eatery across from the Dayton Mall was named, Surjit Singh Mattu, a native of India, owns two other Dayton-area restaurants: Jeet India near The Mall at Fairfield Commons and Amar India North on Miller Lane.  His family has been serving Indian food in the area for over thirty years.

 

 

 

 

 

Chicken Tikka Masala with garlic naan,  Tandoori chicken,  Samosas, Aloo Paneer and the veggie Korma seem to get the most raves, according to their Yelp reviews.

The Most Loved All Stars list was generated by analyzing data from April 2021 to April 2022. All restaurants who achieved Most Loved status for at least 10 months qualified for All Star in-app promotion and relevant local lists. Those merchants with five stores or less who had achieved Most Loved status for 12 consecutive months were ranked by average overall customer rating with the top 100 being named to the US list.

Dayton at Work and Play: Surjit SIngh Mattu

January 9, 2019 By Bill Franz

Surjit Singh Mattu plays a part in one of our holiday traditions. When our daughters and their families come back to Dayton they must have at least one meal from his restaurant, Amar India (2751 Miamisburg Centerville Road). Amar was a favorite of our daughters when they were young. They’ve eaten in many other Indian restaurants since leaving home, but when they are in Dayton they must return to Amar.

During my last visit to the restaurant I learned a little about Mr. Mattu. He came to Dayton in 1984. He chose Dayton because his brother-in-law was teaching at U.D. and he wanted to be close to family.

 

When he first came to the U.S. from India, Mr. Mattu was an electrician. But he started to work in restaurants on the side and liked it. He opened Amar India in 1991 and now also owns two other Indian restaurants in Dayton – one in Beavercreek and one on Miller Lane, north of downtown.

On the wall at Amer India there is a newspaper article about Mr. Mattu. I love what he said when the newspaper asked what advice he would give to other immigrant business owners.

“You must adapt and embrace the culture you are in now. Make it better by incorporating the culture you brought in. That’s the real America. America is a better and prosperous nation because different cultures created an awesome society.”


Amar India

At Amar India Restaurant, we believe that a buffet is often the best way to get acquainted with a new cuisine, as compared to going for the a la carte option. Our buffet services are available 7 days a week.
